BTS’ leader RM had fans spiraling when they discovered he briefly unfollowed all his bandmates—plus Jungkook’s dog Bam—on Instagram. On January 18, 2024, eagle-eyed ARMY noticed he was only following the official BTS page and an account believed to be run by his team. Soon after, he restored the follows, but that short window was enough to make the fandom start the craziest rumors.

Some pointed fingers at Jungkook, recalling how he once unfollowed BTS’ official account and every member from Bam’s profile. Then, some claimed RM was responding to Jungkook’s previous Instagram activity, while other fans said it must have been a glitch. Still, a few believed it was all about a deeper feud, saying RM wouldn’t do that as an accident.

Inevitably, speculation escalated into wild theories about Jungkook quitting BTS or the whole group crumbling. Solo stans took sides, blaming either RM or Jungkook for the follow-unfollow spree. Meanwhile, a wave of fans rolled their eyes at the whole situation, insisting that social media activity is not worth the conflict and the theories.
What’s your take on this Instagram saga?
